Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Growing up queer in a communist state, queens Patricia and Lucretia spent the 70s and 80s underground, finding glamour in the squalor, strutting their stuff in parks and public toilets, seducing hard Soviet soldiers, preying on drunks, and seeing their friends die of AIDS. Today they're about to…hit Lovetown, a homo-haven, populated by a younger generation of emancipated gays, who are out and proud in their post-communist paradise: suntanned, sculpted and vigorously spending the pink euro. This is the story of the clash between old and new gays - the clapped out queens and the flashy fags - as they meet in a place where anything goes, but some things have also been lost. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardback. Condition: New. What does it take to succeed as a queer teenage Eastern European sex worker in the 1990s? Eleven inches and a ruthless attitude. Western Europe, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall: Two queer teens from Eastern Europe journey to Vienna, then Zurich, in search of a better life as sex workers. They…couldn't be more different from each other. Milan, aka Dianka, a dreamy, passive naïf from Slovakia, drifts haplessly from one abusive sugar daddy to the next, whereas Michal, a sanguine pleasure-seeker from Poland, quickly masters the selfishness and ruthlessness that allow him to succeed in the wild, capitalist West-all the while taking advantage of the physical endowment for which he is dubbed "Eleven-Inch." By turns impoverished and flush with their earnings, the two traverse a precarious new world of hustler bars, public toilets, and nights spent sleeping in train stations and parks or in the opulent homes of their wealthy clients. With campy wit and sensuous humor, Michal Witkowski explores in Eleven-Inch the transition from Soviet-style communism to neoliberal capitalism in Europe through the experiences of the most marginalized: destitute queers.

Condition: Muy bueno. : Sumérgete en la intrigante novela negra queer de Michal Witkowski, donde el protagonista se retira a un solitario resort de playa para escribir una novela que le traerá fama y fortuna. Sin embargo, su atención se desvía hacia Robert, un enigmático leñador y músico depresivo. Intrigado por su pasado, Micha…l inicia una investigación que lo lleva a un antiguo centro de ocio de la época comunista y al misterio de la desaparición de una belleza local. Con humor negro y una mirada excéntrica, Witkowski nos presenta una parodia de sí mismo y del mundo que lo rodea, explorando el contraste entre la Polonia vieja y la nueva, y la lucha entre la mentalidad comunista y el capitalismo salvaje. Una novela que combina elementos de la novela policíaca del siglo XIX con el lenguaje coloquial y vulgar de sus personajes, creando un efecto cómico y una reflexión sobre la sociedad contemporánea.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. La primera novela negra queer de la actual estrella de la literatura polaca. A finales de otoño, el protagonista y narrador, Michal Witkowski, se retira a un resort turístico de playa, totalmente solitario en esa época del año, para escribir la novela que le proporcionará dinero, fama y…todos los premios literarios. Se aloja en una pequeña casa en medio del bosque pero le cuesta avanzar con el libro, ya que su atención se centra en su anfitrión Robert ("el Leñador") quien en realidad es un músico depresivo de mediana edad. Michal, intrigado con este personaje y siguiendo la pista de una fotografía, inicia una investigación que le conducirá a un antiguo centro de ocio de la época comunista y al olvidado caso de la desaparición de una belleza local. De una forma de lo más excéntrica y con la colaboración de los arquetípicos y grises personajes que se va encontrando, Michal indaga en el pasado de "el Leñador". Esta variación de la novela negra contiene los elementos de humor y temática gay habituales en la obra de Witkowski (aunque el componente gay no es tan explícito como en su anterior novela "Lovetown" publicada en España por Anagrama). Cuando el lector cree que está en medio de una típica novela negra, se encuentra con una obra que también le habla del contraste entre las Polonias vieja y nueva, entre la antigua mentalidad comunista y el nuevo capitalismo salvaje, se encuentra con un narrador dotado de una capacidad de observación de la realidad fuera de lo común, que describe el mundo hortera y kitsch de la sociedad de una forma original y divertida. El autor combina frases complejas y sintácticamente impecables al estilo de la novela policíaca del siglo XIX con frases cortas extraídas del lenguaje coloquial y en ocasiones vulgar de los personajes que el protagonista se va encontrando en el resort fuera de temporada. Este choque de estilos, junto con la capacidad de realizar ingeniosas asociaciones semánticas y la autoironía del autor, contribuye al efecto cómico que exhala la novela. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
